A Popular CycIopedia.

A Cyclopedia which presents concise and
readable biographical sketches together with
choice and characteristic selections from the
writings of eminent authors of ali ages and
all nations, surely ought to be in great pop.
ular demand If its cost were not prohibitory.
Such work is Alden's Cyciopedia of Univer-
sal Literature, Volume vi. of which, now
Published, contains 479 pages, large type,
beautifully printed and bound, and includes
within it the names of eighty two eminent au-
thors. among which are: Dana. Dante, Dar-
win, Daudet, Jefferson Davis, Sir Humphrey
Davy, DeFoe (of Robinson Crusoe fame), De-
mosthenes, DeQuinoy, Deseartes, Dickens,
Disraeli, Doddridge, and Douglas. 1t would
seem hardly possible to plan any literary work
more emlnently readable and interesting, if
the compiling and editing were we'll done
and the nearly universal verdicts seems to be
that this is very we'll done indeed. And the
price! Only The Literary Repolutioa could have
accomplished such wonder-50 cents q vol
ume for these beautiful cloth-bound books or
60 cents for half-Morocco binding The pub.
Usher offers sample volume to any one with
privilege of return if not satisfactory. Any.
one interested in high class literature ought
to send for Mr.. Alden's "a page Catalogue OF
Standard Books, which is free to any appli
can't. Address JOHN b. ALDEN, Publisher
